Madara and the Moon's Eye

This might be farfetched and/or a too long read but bare with me

Tsukuyomi is the god of the moon in Shinto and Japanese mythology.

Izanagi which was summoned by the first gods ended up creating
Amaterasu (incarnation of the sun) from Izanagi's left eye,
Tsukuyomi (incarnation of the moon) from his right eye, and
Susanoo (incarnation of storms and ruler of the sea) from his nose.

Izanagi went on to divide the world between them with Tsukuyomi taking control of the night and moon.

Sasuke used his left eye when he used his Amaterasu ability, opposed to Itachi who used his right for some reason. In this case it looks like Sasuke is the one in line with Shinto. Sasuke used his right eye to supress Amaterasu. (Which makes sense because the reason why night and day never is together is in Shinto, because Amaterasu who represents the sun was furious with Tsukuyomi who represents the night. That is why the right 'eye of the moon' would supress the Amaterasu's fire created by the left 'eye of the sungodess' and vice versa)

With that said lets move on to tobi/madara. In Naruto 386 page 11 | One Manga Itachi says "Today Madara is a pathetic shell of his former self. He is no longer worth being considered the greatest Uchiha."

This leads me to believe that Madara has lost some of his power, a huge key to understanding just what it is he has lost is that he(tobi) ever only shows his right eye. He is evitently covering up a secret about himself. I think he is covering up the fact that he has lost the power of is left eye, perhaps not completely who knows. Since why else would he purposely hide 50% of his EMS? Knowing this I can think of 2 plausible alternatives

1, Either the "Moon's Eye plan" is to cause whatever havoc he can with his right eye (the right eye of the moon) possibly something that could lead to a 4th ninjawar. Possibly some kind of genjutsu on the Kages, as his eye is the one that deals with genjutsu. Something that stengthen this theory is that in Naruto 453 page 18 | One Manga he says "I've had enough of being cautious" which suggests his plans are to take action in some form (what that is will be pretty impossible to determine until we get more clues) Another reason why it's his 'eye of the moon' that is still active is that he was able to put out the trap-amaterasu that Itachi planted on Sasuke. The less convincing alternative is that

2, He, much like Itachi, has reversed eye-order. His right eye is the Amaterasu eye meaning it's his 'eye of the moon' that has lost it's power. Therefor he means to restore it making him essentially immortal again. He could be restoring it by taking Sasuke's eye, afterall he knows Sasuke is planning to attack the Kages which means he would without a doubt have to use his MS.

What do you think of these 2 ideas? can you think of other plausable ideas too? Feel free to discuss

I've been thinking how Madara tends to operate when it's full moon. Helping Itachi with the Uchiha slaugher, the 9 tails attack on Konoha as examples.. I'm yet to figure out a connection with the full moon though.

I can't grasp why the plans would be called Moon's Eye Plan in that case..

Re: Madara and the Moon's Eye

If it's a revival technique it will not be reviving all the dead Akatsuki that I'm sure of. Or well, it can be, but in that case his plans will fail because I can't see how to fit them into the story again. They had all magnificent battles when they died, they had 'worthy' deaths. If they are revived that means they will once again have to be beaten, which is not something Kishimoto will waste his time with, as it's not gonna contribute to the story

Or maybe is to revived his father, who he seal.
1. He is going to Revive A Sharingan user, you need 3 sharingan user to open the seal.

But i just wonder why he going do the Moon pla in the Kage summit?
maybe he need to sacrifice stronger ninja,^^

Re: Madara and the Moon's Eye

When I read the part with controlling the kages, it made me wonder, I've been against all those tobi=danzou threads, and understands that he cant be at 2 places at once, and there are many arguements against it, but Danzou did control the current mizukage at the meeting, why not the whole bunch? maybe thats the moons eye plan, just a thought.

well it's probably theoretically possible that madara is able to materialize his chakra (much like the tailed beasts are materialized chakra) and with that, able to be at multiple positions. (like how naruto's punches went straight through tobi, and how he wasn't damaged by deidara's selfdestruction, teleportation or not) BUT I strongly believe that Danzo is nothing but someone who found power through sharingan and got water over his head. He acts like he is concerned with his own agenda and there's really nothing solid that tying him and madara up.. it's not that I mean to bash your idea I just can't see Danzo as a bigger part of something

omg, i cant wait till the manga tells us all about madara, danzou, tobi shit,..... damn sharingan, uchiha should never have been introduced in the story... damn supernatural stuff.-

Re: Madara and the Moon's Eye

It's a fantastic theory, hwahl.

Great basis, and quite likely in my own opinion.
I remember reading on leafninja, ages ago when people were still guessing about the potential of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it said something about Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi being two thirds of some god(dess) related thing.
This must be what it spoke of.
